[QUOTE="DDD, post: 278116, member: 35"] I've served on three juries and two were for murder. LMS you don't get to volunteer information. They can ask you whatever they want to ask but they don't ask you what you think of the "system". Good thing, lol. The lst murder trial we took days to decide and agreed on not guilty. Funny thing...we all believed he was guilty but the DA skipped over info that would have proven it beyond a reasonable doubt. We weren't allowed to ask questions once we were sent to deliberate. It was very frustrating. The second murder case we downgraded the charge but found him guilty. No problem for any of the panel. Having a kid cope with parts of the system makes me strongly advocate for "regular" citizens to be the deciders. I no longer respect insider choices but I do overall trust "my fellow citizens". IF I were ever on trial I would hope reasonable thinking people would decide my fate. DDD [/QUOTE]
